Source Tactical SNEP Convertube Water Bottle Adapter Kit, Plastic, Coyote

Has multiple adapters for various liquid holding containers. The only two I'll ever use fits 2 and 3 liter bottles and my big mouth nalgene bottles. What I thought was super cool was the straw is long and slides up into the hose so it'll work with any length bottles like the 48oz nalgene bottles. I keep them behind me in my kayak or in my backpack when I'm hiking and the hose works well without having to wrestle getting the bottle out to sip on while I've got paddles in my hand or trekking poles. They're heavier than other models but it's from the fabric hose covering that helps keep the water cool so I don't mind the otherwise bulky nature of it. I want every drink a cool dink vs sucking up hot water first to get to the cool which you'll do with an uncovered hose. The straw can be purchased at ace hardware in any length in case your water vessel is ridiculously long. It's common plastic tubing. It's made well and am confident it will last. As far as value, it depends on how often you're likely to use it. For me, based on my continuous adventures, the decision was easy. After several uses my only complaint is, it's harder to suck water because of the hose clip extention. It's not completely air tight so you suck air while trying to get water. If the hose was one piece instead of two that problem wouldn't exist. Not very efficient in that regard but it still works.

Avid hiker, hunter, backpacker. I decided to take a chance on this product because I was so tired of having to essentially unpack and remove my bladder every time I wanted to fill water and hated having wet gear the one time that my bladder sprung a leak inside my pack. After making the switch I struggle to understand why bladders are even a thing any more? This system is well made and has a wide range of vessels it can attach to. A Nalgene or simple gas station water bottle weighs just as much or less than a bladder and allows for so much more versatility. It may not hold 3L of water, but bring another bottle that weighs 2 oz and you are covered. Perhaps my favorite piece of this system is the mouth bit. It seals well, is comfortable and efficient to drink from. The cap that covers it is amazing in keeping it clean and damage-free. This system on a bottle allows for several things that bladders do not: 1) Bottles are much preferred for using during cooking. Trying to add water out of a bladder is cumbersome, both to remove from pack and to empty into cookware. A bottle you just pour or drink straight from. 2) If you keep the cap for the bottle, you can share the bottle with others if needed as well as take in literally any other pack or standalone. 3) What I think I find most appealing and somewhat funny, is that you can use it inside your pack just like a bladder, but now you can also keep in an exterior pocket of your pack and have easy access 100% of the time. That being said, a bottle outside the pack in cold temps means a possibility of freezing, but I'd rather have a cheap water bottle freeze and fail than an expensive bladder. Two points that I could see improvements on in future versions of this are: 1) Hose Stiffness, the hose is very rigid and will take time for it to find its memory to each pack/system you place it in. That also being true for drinking, it is stiff and you have to put a little more effort into bending the hose to drink from... A small price to pay for durability though. I Believe this was designed for desert climates though so I am sure the hose loosens a bit when in the heat of the desert. 2) The hose has a thin "cloth" sheath, which is awesome for glare and heat absorption of the hose and water within, but it lacks insulation, so in colder temps there is the chance your hose will freeze on you. Would like to see the neoprene hose sheath like other bladder models out there. Again, I believe this was designed with desert warfare in mind so insulation was not high on their list I imagine. All in all, I will be going this route for all future water system purchases. Bladders just don't cut it anymore.

Bought this product to use for the 48oz Nalgenes I carry in my wildland fire pack. It was convenient and quick enough to switch between my bottles. My pack does tend to get thrown around by myself and other crew members, and that led to a break that causes leaking. There’s a small plastic piece that covers what I think is a pressure relief hole; once that comes off, water pours from the top and it leaked water onto the pack. Not really a big deal, but something to make note of. I also would mention that the part of straw that goes into the Nalgene does not reach the bottom of the 48 oz bottles. So there was about two to three inches of water left in the bottom. These are small and somewhat niche issues for sure, but that’s why I only gave four stars. Otherwise it’s a good product and I used mine, even when broken and leaking, for about two seasons.

Worked great on my first backpacking trip. Used it for five day backpacking trip on Catalina Island in June 2026. Put it in storage and then try to use it again for a backpacking trip in August 2026 and the hose pops apart in the middle. I was able to tape it together as a temporary fix.

I'm a wildland fire fighter and I use this product on my 48 oz HDP Nalgene bottle. I have 4 of the Nalgene bottles and I utilize the hydration straw for when I need a drink while on the move. On my breaks I drink from the other bottles. Typically, I will have to refill the bottle with the hydration straw once during the day. I do suggest that you get the bite valve vs. the push pull valve. The push pull valve leaks but the bite valve solves this problem. I bought that from the Source Tactical website direct. The hydration straw is a bit long but for me it works because I can tuck it into my waist strap on my line pack. I put the straw through the red loop on the back support. I also have a velcro strap that I use to secure the straw on my shoulder strap. (see pictures) This product is durable and easy to clean. I just put all of the components in a bucket with warm water and light soap and stir it around then rinse well. In addition to this being a great product, their customer service is top notch. I had lost the silicone breather and I e-mailed them about that and Shahar sent me 2 to replace the one that I lost at no charge! I also read a review where someone had a problem with an O-ring and they were sent one also at no charge. Great durable product and great customer service. I highly recommend this product and company.

I bought this for my trip to Philmont Scout Ranch in NM, and it worked out wonderfully. It allowed me to keep my water bottles on the outside of my pack where they were easy to reach and refill. There are adapters to work with Nalgene, Smartwater, and other bottles. I appreciated the sturdy valve cover as my pack was often on the ground, and the cover protected my bite valve from dirt and grime. The adjustable bottle straw allows me to use it with different height bottles, and the tube was plenty long to loop from my side pocket bottles, over my pack and around to the front. The adapters never leaked even when my pack would end up laying on its side, and it held up well to the rigors of a 9 day wilderness trek. This is my go-to system for backpacking hydration. Great product!

Clever kit that creates a hybrid system that's lower commitment than maintaining a bladder. I've purchased 2, one for my Hydroflask and the other for my 32oz Nalgene. The universal connections are well placed and great for replacement parts. The kit is much cheaper than the few other alternatives, and I suspect it works just as well. However, you will encounter poor flow issues if you don't modify it. The flow issue mainly stems from the breather valve next to the hose. While it keeps water from sloshing out, it doesn't allow enough air to enter the bottle after water leaves through the hose. Removing the rubber gromet/valve and giving it the tiniest snip with scissors/flush cutters will fix most of the flow issue. Also look out for how restricted the straw opening inside the bottle might be. Just know a rigid bottle will not deflate and provide as smooth flow as a bladder reservoir can. Well-designed kit with everything you need otherwise. Mild leak if angled, but not catastrophic. Recommend to anyone who doesn't want to clean a bladder, but may have issues reaching for their bottle.

I love the quick connect and it comes with multiple fittings for bottles

Great colour and functionality. The drinking end opens with a pull and closes with a push instead of biting like simulate products, with a lid that protects it when not in use so can be sure of no wastage. Would definitely recommend.

The 63mm Nalgene adapter works perfectly with the MSR Dromedary 4L hydration bladder/reservoir. Solid construction, and it has a valve cup, which prevents it from getting dirty.

Good quality and very useful. A water bladder is hard to clean, a nalgene is not. Used regularly as an infantry soldier.

Supports multiple bottles for your water solution.

Utilisé depuis plusieurs mois, aucun soucis, bon achat, simplement les goulots des bouteilles d'eau minérale ont été légèrement raccourcis ce qui réduit le maintien du raccord. L'article est encore utilisable mais jusqu'à quand (?) ....
